Team Details

Revolve NTNU is a highly motivated and passionate team of 46 students from ten different engineering disciplines. Revolve NTNU is competing in Formula Student for the second time. The first year was very successful, and they won “Best newcomer” at Formula Student UK 2012. This year the team has built a faster and lighter car by improving and further developed last years design. In addition the car has plenty of new features. The team has expanded their focus on electronics, and also established a group that works with aerodynamics. The research and development group is developing electronically adjustable dampers for this year's car. The team is not just focusing on developing a fast car, but also the way the students work as a team and help them become the best engineers possible. Revolve NTNU think it is important for the students to get work experience through their studies, and wish to contribute to this at their home university.

Revolve NTNU was established in autumn 2010, to give students at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology(NTNU) an opportunity to apply theory in practice. The team is divided into administration and six technical groups: Engine & drivetrain, Electronics, Driver environment & safety, Frame & bodywork, Suspension & brakes and R&D. Kongsberg Automotive supported us from the very beginning. Cooperating with Petter Solberg, a World Rally Champion, has been a great resource and inspiration for the team. Our University, with long traditions in technology and engineering, has also been a major collaborator throughout the whole project, based on traditions dating back to 1910. The car features a highly advanced, self-developed Data Acquisition System, incorporating more than 20 sensors. Using a two-stage variable intake, we achieve a high amount of torque from low RPM. Norway's participation is long-awaited, and we are glad to attend the FSG, representing Norway for the first time.
